This movie is about a Parole Officer played by Jennifer Beals who falls in love with one of her ex cons . This does not sound like a very original storyline but this movie is enhanced and redeemed by a very believable and solid performance by Jennifer Beals. Sadly we do not see enough of her in movies these days which is a real shame because I think she is one very talented , underrated actress. Bravo Ms. Beals!!! (And she is pretty HOT too!!!)

JENNIFER BEALS PLAYS JENNY A YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL PAROLE OFFICER WHO AGAINST HER BETTER JUDGSMENT FALLS IN LOVE WITH ONE OF HER PAROLEE'S. HE IS AN EX-CON WITH AN OLD SCORE TO SETTLE ON THE OUT SIDE. HE KEEPS JENNY IN THE DARK ABOUT THE OLD SCORE TO SETTLE PUTTING BOTH THEIR LIVES IN JEOPARDY. JENNY IS TRAPPED IN A DANGEROUS GAME OF SEDUCTION AND DESIRE AND GETS TOO CLOSE TO THE EX-CON WHO HAS THE POLICE IN HOT PERSUIT. THE TWO MUST STAY TOGETHER TO STAY ALIVE, AND IN LOVE. JM

J.Beals plays a strong character but also a woman who falls in love, when she shouldn't...It's a nice story and Jennifer Beals is...incomparable !

I love Holt McCallany, so anything he has done will naturally catch my attention. He is the lead in this movie, which is pleasant enough to watch, despite not being particularly extraordinary.
The story is simple and a bit predictable, but the acting is decent and if you are a Holt McCallany fan like I am, you will love him in this one, especially the way he looks: absolutely sexy!

Jennifer Beals,long after her '80s success in "Flashdance" and before breaking out into "The L Word", starred in "Out of Line" as a parole officer who falls in love with an ex-con named Henri. She's smitten with him, despite the fact he's still entangled with his ol' gang&he even knocks her out (literally)

The plot is needlessly complicated. There's a socialite with a hit on her,an evil gazillionaire,a Hispanic gangsta named Alfonso James who's somehow involved in the whole mess...even the Cigarette-Smoking Man from the X-Files. The truth is out there, indeed. There are plenty of sexual&violent scenes to compensate for the lack of a coherent plot. Of course, it lacks eroticism and the violence is gratuitous.

It's no wonder that Jennifer Beals has since danced away from this flash-in-the-pan movie. The whole movie is out of line... because it's plot makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

Jennifer Beal was beautiful as always, this was a "B" movie but entertaining. Yes buy it.

Delivery was acceptable for the cheap cost of the dvd and it was in excellant condition.

MS BEALS IS A WONDERFULL ACTRESS.SHE CAN TAKE ON ANY KIND OF ROLE AND MAKE IT ALL SO EASY

Intrigued by Holt McCallany in CSI:Miami, I have been on a quest to find other works by him. This is definitely not his best. The acting is contrived and the plot is old and not well executed (parole officer falls for ex-con who's out of prison and trying to settle a score). If you are looking for good movies with Holt in them, try Below or The Fight Club. If you insist on buying this movie, make sure you buy a bottle of Electric Reindeer White Zinfadel (or another alcoholic substitute--I was in the holiday spirit at the time). The alcohol will help you make it through to the end. Sorry, Holt!
